Don't be sad! Yellow is such a happy color. I'm not sure "yellow" or things that are yellow have to be in the name. Mine is Chili Red/Black and is named Jake.

Have you (as suggested by many NAM members) asked him/her what his/her name is? Then you wait and something will "pop" into your head.

That's MY suggestion!

 

How about Slicker?

 

Mine is Bercilak --



(spolier warning in case you're a few hundred years behind on your reading!)




-- the real name of the Green Knight in the medieval poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." Very green, and very British.

 

And I always thought the Green Knight was the Lady of the Lake in disguise.

 

oh, that's an awesome suggestion.

 

You're full of it today, Gromit!

 

Only today?

Actually though, I had read a book of Arthurian legend that said in a story that the Lady of the Lake assumed the identity of the Green knight to teach Gawain a lesson.

 

I'm looking for a name for my Mini a cool blue cabrio plain cooper, any ideas?

 

Mine is going to be named Cupcake for a few reasons. First is that I am a Pastry Chef and I wanted something related to my profession. Second is because a cupcake is a little cake, kinda like the Cooper is a little car. Second is that it reminds me of a cupcake in that it is "frosted" (the top roof color). I put it for the custom plates. I had to put 4 choices so I listed these: CUPCAKE, CUPC8KE, KUPCAKE, KUPKAKE. So, there ya go, hopefully if i get the plates I will put a couple small cupcake graphics inside or something.

 

ok, cause it's yellow, (like a banana):
peelin'
slipper
split

cause it's yellow (like a lemon):
pucker
wedge


ok there are mine hehe. good luck finding a name, I must of had a list of about 60 before I narrowed it down.

 

DIX, here are some suggestions my co-workers came up with when I was naming my ly/w cooper: yellow fever, post-it (like the notes), Chiquita, sundog, tweety, sun kissed and lemon sole.
I liked the names but none of them felt quite right for me. It took me 9 months of ownership before I found the perfect name. Unfortunately, the license plate was already taken so I am stuck with the one assigned by the DMV.
Don't worry - the right name will come to you.

 

Someone mentioned that my PW/PW/PW was very "Stormtrooper", so he is named "Jango" after the father of all Stormtroopers!

 

I went through a fairly extensive name search... trying to find an English (origin of manufacture) or Celtic (my wife is Irish). Being a small, white car, those definitions snuck in there as well. I was looking for short, memorable names with some character. Here is the list I built before stumbling across "Jango":

Name -- M/F -- Origin -- Meaning
Gemma -- Female -- English -- Gem
Birdy / Birdie -- Female -- English -- Contemporary name meaning Little bird; birdlike
Binny -- Female -- English -- Form of Bianca. White
Jenna -- Female -- Celtic -- Form of Jennifer: White spirit
Wynnie -- Female -- Celtic -- White or fair

Name -- M/F -- Origin -- Meaning
Dahy -- Male -- Irish -- Capable, quick, agile
Daithi -- Male -- Irish -- Beloved, quick, agile
Albin -- Male -- English -- Old English for brilliant, bright, white
Eljin -- Male -- Celtic -- Noble, white
Whitman -- Male -- English -- White Haired
Becan -- Male -- Celtic -- Small

 

I had a liquid yellow one and it was named bechin (sp) german for little bee

 

Hehe? I have a feeling of utter dread about the non-listed names. Plus...my MINI can't be related to anything concerning a banana...it's too short! AND BEFORE ANYONE GOES ANY FURTHER...I mean't it in a NICE, CLEAN way...(perverts!)

 

Good suggestion. I picked yellow 'cause it makes me VERY happy whenever I catch sight of my baby. My personal happiness meter has jumped at least 99.9 % since buying the best car in the world!

 

How SWEET!

 

Thanks lemnpi (totally cute by the way) I'm mulling on some now. Let you know soon hopefully.

 

Uhhhhh...yeah. Let me get back with ya on that one.

 

Eeewwww! Gross!

 

Hey Dix, how about Mirasol (sunflower)? You could call her Mira for short.

 

We named our MINI Rex because it just suits the car and Rex is latin for dog, and our car has a bulldog stance. And being a JCW car, it's a little ferocious.

 

Hey! I like that. Let me ask her. If ly/w is cool with it...she might have a new name!!

 

Oh Yay! I hope she likes it. It's a happy name for a happy MINI!

 

when i ordered mine miniusa wanted me to name it so i could track it from the factory. i looked at several photos of other minis that would be similar to mine. Suzi just popped out of nowhere but it fit her perfectly. now Suzi and i have slain the dragon together and countless other colorado mountain twisties. names are important and should carefully considered, or just pop out of nowhere. HAVE FUN.
